If you do not mind me asking this question, it’s about one of my best guy friends. I am currently in love with him. I do not want to date him as of right now, because I want to work on myself. However, I am worried about him. Ever since he failed his final exams and retakes, he barely talks to me. In fact if I send him a text, he reads it and won’t reply to me. One time when we did speak, he said he wasn’t in the mood. He has to repeat another year in high school and will not go off to college this fall. My other best guy friend told me to leave him alone, because he might feel ashamed and embarrassed to talk to anyone and is probably reflecting on his life. I do want to give him some space, and I am a little bit worried that he might not ever speak to me again because I cheered him on before his finals and since he failed the first time, he didn’t want to speak with me. Should I give him space and be patient with him?
